Were to begin. The village Barn is a wedding venue from your dreams. It's a hidden gem. Entrance looks unassuming, once you walk in you're greeted with a garden paradise. A newly renovated ceremony room and manicured garden. The staff are phenomenal. And our wedding coordinator Aoife was so wonderful. Nothing was ever an issue and everything was seamless. Communication throughout was excellent. I would even consider this venue for future events they are amazing

We got married in the barn this July and I cannot express how amazing the day was.
This was the only venue we went to view and booked it straight away. If you want a relaxed day with the most incredible backdrop this is the venue for you.
From the outset the team were so helpful, a particular shoutout to our coordinator Aoife who is just THE BEST! She is kind, organised and made the entire day flow easily. It was 27 degrees but the barn was well set up with fans and the outside area was glorious.
The entire staff are wonderful and we had so many of our guests comment on what a wonderful team they are.
The food is out of this world, I'd get married again just so I could have the homemade ice cream. We also did our day two at the barn and the food was just as delicious, we had a BBQ and dessert table. Everyone raved about the quantity and quality of the food. They were blown away by the standard.
We just had the most amazing day and I can honestly say I wouldn't change a thing.
Thanks so much to Aoife and the entire team. I hope we get invited back to another wedding at the barn!

I cannot recommend The Village Barn enough. Tucked away in the village of Tyrrellspass, you are greeted with surprise upon surprise of different unique settings. Our guests absolutely loved the place. The food was amazing, and the staff are all incredible. Both Aoife and Bernadette are on hand to answer any queries in the lead up to the day. Special shout out to Bernadette who was our wedding coordinator on the day and ran everything so smooth, allowing us time to catch our breath too. If you are looking for something a little different for your wedding day you need to book a viewing now!

Look no further - you have found THE perfect venue for your wedding. We got married at The Village Barn in October and it had simply everything we wanted for our special day, including an utterly charming sanctuary for the ceremony itself, a gorgeous set of rooms for the post-ceremony drinks and canapes, and the most perfect dining area which turned into a dancefloor later for us to dance the night away. It even has its own little pub attached for pre- or post-ceremony tipples. The food and service were second to none and all the staff but most especially Aoife went out their way to ensure that we had the most magical day. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding and venue they'd been to and the whole venue is so photogenic that we have a stunning set of wedding photos as a wonderful memento of the most magical day of our lives.

We were looking for a wedding venue that was unique, special and laid back/ less formal. This was the perfect place as the venue is just amazing but the vibe is incredible relaxed. Our guests still rave about it , from the beauty of the venue to the fabulous food and drinks and outstanding staff. Everything from start to finish was a dream. If your looking for something truly special this is your place. The Chapel, orangey, and barn are fab but we really loved the little pub at the front! We still pop in for a drink and to reminisce on our special day.
One memory that really stands out-at end of night once our guests left, the staff set up a tiny table with a drink for myself and hubby to just sit down and take in the day. It was a lovely moment that meant so much on a day with so many emotions.

We got married here recently and cannot recommend the barn enough. From initial communication to the very end they were amazing. Shout out to Aoife who dealt with all my questions,she is absolutely lovely to deal with and communicates promptly. The venue itself is beautiful. We had less than 50 guests,half of which were under 18 and the barn was so accommodating. It was the perfect spot for us,we literally couldn't have designed somewhere from scratch better ourselves to suit us. We viewed the barn and our venue search ended immediately. We had two guests with special needs who were catered for so well,it made what would usually be a potentially stressful day for their parents so much easier. The staff were lovely and the food is AMAZING!If I could go back and do it again I would and I'd choose the barn over and over! 10/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hi Caroline and Andrew, thank you so much for your glowing review. I am so glad we were able to make your wedding day stress free and that you had the best day here with us.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue! From start to finish, everything was absolutely wonderful. The accommodation for our bridal party was lovely and made us feel right at home — truly a “home away from home” vibe. Every detail was taken care of, and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful.
We received so many compliments from our guests on the beautiful setting and the seamless experience. The team went above and beyond to make our day special, and we felt completely supported throughout. Everything was perfect — we can’t recommend Aoife and the Village Barn crew highly enough!

Do not hesitate to book this venue! The Barn is an absolute DREAM in every sense!!! We knew it the minute we toured.
We are an American couple with Irish family and we wanted a venue that was fun, different, cozy and had everything we needed. The pub is such a fun and amazing Irish touch, the chapel was intimate and made for gorgeous photos and acoustics, the gardens were stunning and so well maintained, the orangery was sweet and let in tons of beautiful light for our drinks reception, and the barn itself was a fabulous place to gather round delicious food and dance the night away.
The staff were all incredibly accommodating, responsive and kind. Excellent service in every way.
When I think of the Barn and our wedding day, my heart is so full of love and joy. It’s a venue that felt like US and is truly one of a kind.
Book it right now before you lose it!

From start to finish, this venue exceeded all expectations. The food was absolutely amazing—plentiful, delicious, and beautifully presented. The staff were an absolute delight: professional, attentive, and full of good fun, which made the day even more special. They were extremely attentive and made everything easy and enjoyable from the very first moment we met them.
A huge shout-out to Aoife, our wonderful hostess, who truly became a friend along the way. Her warmth and care made us feel so comfortable and added a personal touch that we’ll never forget.
Not only was everything top-notch, but the value for money was outstanding. The atmosphere had a wonderful family feel, creating a warm and welcoming environment for everyone. Every detail was perfect, and it truly felt like the best wedding ever! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience.

We had an amazing wedding in the village barn. Nothing was too much for Aoife and her team! We were made feel very comfortable and relaxed on the day. Everyone enjoyed every minute of our day and our guests commented on how they loved the unique rustic vibes as well as the food for our meal. They made sure everyone had enough to eat which was amazing....asking for more wasn't a problem! The communication from start to finish was also brilliant especially planning from the UK. Can't recommend them enough! 🥰

I just had my wedding at the Village Barn and I cannot sing their praises highly enough!
First of all, the venue is absolutely stunning. All of our guests were 'wowed' and commented all night long how beautiful the venue was. The food was incredible with very generous portions, as well. But most importantly, the team at the Village Barn is absolutely incredible. From when we first contacted them in 2022, they were quick to respond and happy to answer any questions we had. When we had to postpone our 2024 wedding with only a few months notice due to a bereavement, they went above and beyond to make the process simple and to reschedule for us. Aoife, Amy and David were so kind, patient and professional. They made wedding planning so easy, especially since the venue had most of the stuff we wanted already included. I was really blown away by the addition of the 2 bedroom bridal suite, which made getting ready the morning of so easy and comfortable.
Overall, I would absolutely, highly recommend the Village Barn for anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxed and charming venue. We loved working with their team so much and the venue made a perfect backdrop for our special day.

When I say we fell in love with this absolute hidden gem I mean it. From the first moment we viewed it, it was us, it can be any sort of venue you need it to be, we wanted rustic, charming, chilled out and David and his team brought their A game. In particular their Co Ordinator Aoife. If anyone is meant to be charge of weddings it is this absolute lady! Because we went for an intimate wedding day they went out of their way to rearrange tables etc. You don't need to add any decor they have it all to hand including post box. It took so much stress away. The chapel onsite is mind blowing, it is a pocket of paradise.
Everyone raved about the food, we went for family style which meant people could choose from 4 meat/fish. The kids were looked after separately and were fed straight away! One less thing to worry about.
We hired the venue for 2 days and it was the best decision we made about the whole wedding. The staff are amazing and nothing was too much trouble, they made us feel like part of their family.

Aoife was amazing and nothing was ever a problem, even towards the end when I was bombarding her with emails. On the day, she was everywhere- an angel in disguise. To have everything in the one venue was a godsend, it was just so easy. David is a gentleman and the food was top notch, the biggest problem was to decide what menu we wanted. We just didn't want our day to end, Thanks again guys x x x

While looking for an alternative venue to be married in we came across The Village Barn , and boy are we glad we did !
From our first visit on a miserable wet March day the warmth and friendliness of Amy and the quirkiness venue won us over . All our questions were answered and we booked up . Fast forward to a month before the wedding when we then met Aoife who was our co ordinator. No request was too silly or to difficult. My constant request was make sure there was plenty of food , Oh foolish me to even question that there might not be... An abundance of perfect food ( I'm a foodie , and particular ) We and our guests were blown away by it . The talent the kitchen staff have is super . The waiting staff were warm and friendly and couldn't do enough for us . Aoife was like a magic fairy who appeared every time I need anything taken care of... Things magically appeared from The Sanctuary to the Barn and Orangery . If We could give The Village Barn a 100 stars we would !
So if your wish is to have your wedding in an amazing venue, wonderful food and fantastic staff , with a laid back quirky style The Village Barn is the place for you ! Book it , I promise you won't regret it!!

Aoife and the team went above and beyond for our special day. I'm local to the area but have been living in the UK for the last 16 years. The Barn provided the perfect Irish wedding venue for my wife and her family (all from Scotland) to experience the unique hospitality we're famous for in the Midlands. Couldn't recommend this as a wedding venue enough! The space is incredible on its own but the team are also very accomodating in letting you decorate to your style.

We had the best experience at The Village Barn. From the moment we came across it online, we knew it was the place we were going to get married. We were living overseas, so we planned everything via zoom and email. The staff made everything feel so personal, and they did everything that we asked. My family is mostly vegetarian and my husband’s eat halal meat, and they catered for all of our dietary needs. All of our guests wanted to know how we found the place, and couldn’t get over how beautiful it was. It felt like a hidden gem. We stayed in the accomodation which was so handy for getting ready in the morning, and they even catered a meal for us the night before. We were able to decorate the space exactly how we wished. We had the best day and night and couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

We got married at the Village Barn in September 2024 and it could not have gone better, thanks in large part to the efforts of Aoife, Amy and the team.
We looked at a few different locations (from a longlist of c.60) and the Village Barn won us over on its charming style, high level of organisation and reasonable price. We were told on our first visit that they wanted it to feel like our home on the day. In fairness you would probably hear this from many other venues but, hand on heart, it came true.
The team were so organised both throughout the leadup and on the day but, and this was important, they were chill. They were calm, unfazed and happy to go along with our plans and ideas for decoration, schedule and setup, as well as being happy to get stuck in to make it happen. Even months out, they were so pleasant and laid back when addressing our random queries and arranging payment schedule. In terms of how they worked with the other vendors, it was clear they were old hands and everything went smoothly.
The food was amazing. One particular shoutout would be the homemade ice cream, which was incredibly creamy and genuinely the best we’ve ever had. The staff were on the ball when it came to setting out cake (we did this before dinner in the Orangery) and serving drinks. The dinner was wonderful. We had it served family style, which contributed to the relaxed feel we were after, and all present vegetarians and vegans were well looked after with particular attention.
For after dinner, the bar staff were really nice and all our guests spoke highly of how lovely they were. They were good to chat to, highly professional and it was wonderful to see off the end of the night with them and the last few guests. In addition, the courtesy van was a brilliant inclusion. We had multiple guests staying locally in accommodation recommended by the Village Barn and they went the extra mile making several trips to shuttle guests around, a bit after midnight.
We would wholeheartedly recommend the Village Barn. Sounds like a cliche but the day went off without a hitch and it was the nicest wedding we could have hoped for.

We had multiple guests staying locally in accommodation recommended by the Village Barn and they went the extra mile making several trips to shuttle guests around, a bit after midnight.
We would wholeheartedly recommend the Village Barn. Sounds like a cliche but the day went off without a hitch and it was the nicest wedding we could have hoped for.

We had a fantastic wedding day at the village barn!!
The venue is still hot topic when we see our guests. It's like a hidden oasis (as my dad said)
David and Aoife were just super to us as we planned our way to the date. Also with our guests on day too, very friendly, great people to be there with on your big day!
It was just a brilliant happy relaxed vibe and we felt it from day we booked it.
We loved the family style meal. Created a lovely bond around the tables for our guests.
All the staff were super and great banter with the bar staff.
Book it!!!

We had our wedding in The Barn and we have to say it was the most perfect setting for our day. The weather that day was amazing and really added to the atmosphere. Another thing that made it perfect was the amazing staff, from David the owner to his daughters Amy and Emma, Aoife and the rest of the staff in The Barn and the wonderful Willies Bar at the front. The service all around and the food on the day were amazing. Everyone went above and beyond our expectations to make it perfect for us. The bar staff also got on board at the end of the night to drop some of our guests back to their accommodation which was much appreciated. Our guests got a huge surprise at how amazing the venue is. We knew what we wanted when we decided to get married and didn’t look anywhere else. It is definitely a hidden gem. We will definitely go back each year and celebrate with a drink in Willie’s Bar. Thank you so much everyone involved, we will remember our day for the rest of our lives for all the right reasons. Richie & Claire..
Response from The Village Barn
Richie & Claire, thank you so much for your lovely words! It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your big day, and I’m so glad you and your guests had such a great time.

We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our wedding. It was difficult finding a unique venue like this in Ireland, especially within budget but the village barn was everything and more. The staff are just so incredibly kind, so responsive, nothing is ever a no, they just make it work. We had the best day of our lives and a big part was due to the venue. We wanted something different, away from the typical Irish hotel scene and we are so happy we did. Everyone commented on how grounds, the food, the staff! Best part was that our dog Murphy was allowed on the grounds on be our ring bearer. A 1000% would recommend!

Our wedding was exactly as we had imagined and more in The Village Barn. The staff were incredible from the start of the process all the way up and post the wedding day.
Food by David and team was fantastic, (people are still raving about the colcannon)
The staff couldn’t do enough for us on the day, especially Aoife and Emma and they looked after all our vendors so well too.
The alternative venue was great for all our guests from plenty safe space for kids and wheelchair access for guests who needed it.
We couldn’t recommend The Village Barn enough and hope we will be back as guests ourselves one day soon.

The barn is an absolute gem. The grounds are so beautiful and charming. It is definitely a very unique place to get married for people who don't want a traditional wedding. We loved every second of our day.
The whole team was absolutely wonderful and made planning the wedding from abroad (USA) easy. Amy was great in preparation and on the day, she listened to what we wanted and made everything happen even better than what we had imagined. She ensured the whole day ran smoothly and gave us guidance when we needed. The guy (sorry can't remember his name) who ran the bar on the day and drove the bus at the end of the night was brilliant. Helping us avoid conflicts with family who were trying to pay for things we didn't want them to!
Everyone raved about the venue and food. We had them cater for a gathering we did the night before and it was also fantastic.
The associated accomodation was great too. Not run by the Barn but everyone loved it.
Overall, 10/10 loved the Barn, would get married here again! We're sure it would be great for any type of wedding, but we can't imagine a better place for a casual, fun filled wedding.

We were lucky enough to have our wedding at the Barn, Tyrrellspass and can't rate it highly enough.
From the very start David, Amy, Hazel, Michael, George and the team went above and beyond to make our day memorable with the perfect blend of professionalism with welcoming informality.
The venue itself is outstanding and incredibly special and our guests were blown away by the standard and variety of the meal, with staff always on hand.
We went for their bells and whistles package, which kept our friends and family well fed and watered throughout the day. Amazing pizzas topped off a great night.
David and his team also looked after our food for day 2 in Foxes, Loughnavalley - a curry and beef stroganoff buffet combo, which also went down a treat and they looked after the logistics of it all, even accommodating a last minute change when we realised we forgot to include a veg alternative for 2 guests.
We'd no feedback to offer when Michael asked us the morning after and would easily recommend to newly-engaged couples.

Our family celebrated my daughter and son in law's wedding at the Village Barn. Kelly and Ben were adamant they didn't want a hotel wedding and wanted to do it in their own unique style. They found the Barn and they were hooked As mother of the bride I was naturally a little anxious coming up to the wedding, hoping that everything would go to plan and all the guests and especially the bride and groom would be happy. I need not have worried a bit, Dave, Any and the team ensured that we had the day of our lives. Such a fun party from start to finish. Any has a special skill of quietly, without fuss preempting anything that needs to be done to ensure the day runs perfectly without the bride and groom having to be bothered with anything on the day. Food was beautiful and plentiful, loved the "family style" dining option. Almost a year on and we are all still blown away by this Amazing Venue. Book it and you won't be disappointed.

Not only did they provide a STELLAR meal that all of my guests were raving about but they also catered to my specific allergies without having to miss out on any part of the meal. The grounds are absolutely stunning. Chill vibes with a classy twist. Stunning location, stunning food and wonderful hosts. Would do the whole day all over again in a heartbeat. Cannot recommend them enough.

It's such a private and exclusive venue so you really do feel as if you escape the real world and get to fully enjoy your wedding bubble with just your chosen guests.

The Village Barn is a smashing place to get married. David and his team have done an incredible job to create a style and atmosphere in this quirky wedding venue in Tyrellspass that is intimate, laid-back, and fun, with a healthy bohemian twist for good measure.
We were delighted with our choice to go ahead with a non-religious wedding ceremony at the Village Barn's very own ceremony venue known as the Barn. The pew benches gave a nice church feel to the venue which we liked but style of the building and our ability to decorate it as we liked gave it more personal feel.
The Orangery was probably our favorite part of the venue owing to the super interior, internal planting scheme, huge panes of glass looking out to the Sanctuary and the garden and the top class Guiness which my guests believe is some of the best they have tried (not an easy feat!).
We couldn't have asked for nicer food and all our wedding guests complemented their meal combined with the service.
Thanks to David and his team once again.

Originally our wedding was booked for July, but due to the madness of covid, we were left unsure if we would be able to go ahead.
Thanks to David, Amy and the wonderful crew in The Barn, we had our special day in September.
From start to finish they guys were on hand to help with everything.
We had what I can only describe as a fairytale day.
The Barn is such a unique setting, you completely forget about the outside world once in there.
The staff are amazing, The food to die for( especially Davids garlic potatoes) oh and homemade ice cream....
You have such a wide range of food to choose from too.
There isn't enough words to express how wonderful the place really is.
And how at ease you feel in their hands.
If you are looking for something unique and relaxed.
Then The Barn is the place to go.
